Agriculture and Forestry
Agricultural and forestry machinery operates in some of the most demanding working environments of any industrial sector. Constant exposure to uneven terrain, shock loading, engine vibration, harsh weather conditions and continuous operational cycles can place significant strain on both machinery and operators.
At AV Industrial Products, we supply anti-vibration mounts and vibration isolation solutions designed to withstand the harsh conditions associated with agricultural and forestry equipment. Our extensive range supports applications including tractors, harvesters, forestry machinery, diesel engines, pumps, generators, hydraulic systems and operator cabins.
By reducing the transmission of vibration and structure-borne noise, our solutions help extend equipment lifespan, minimise maintenance requirements and improve operational performance. Contact our team today for more information.
Anti-Vibration Solutions for Agricultural Machinery
Modern agricultural machinery is subjected to substantial levels of vibration during daily operation. Tractors, combines, sprayers and harvesting machinery frequently operate over rough ground while carrying heavy loads and powered by high-torque diesel engines.
Without effective vibration isolation, these forces can accelerate mechanical wear in structural components and reduce operator comfort. Correctly selected anti vibration mounts can reduce and protect against noise and vibration, allowing for higher productivity and operator comfort.
Take a look at our latest case study in enhancing operator comfort in agricultural vehicles.
Vibration Isolation Solutions for Agriculture & Forestry:
AV Industrial Products supplies vibration isolation solutions suitable for a wide range of agricultural applications, including:
Tractor engine mounting systems
Operator cabin isolation
Hydraulic pump vibration control
Agricultural generator mounting
PTO-driven machinery
Mounted implements and attachments
Cooling systems and fans
Compressors and auxiliary equipment
Our anti-vibration mounts help isolate both low-frequency engine vibration and higher-frequency mechanical resonance, reducing transmitted forces throughout the machinery structure.
Agricultural Vehicle Applications
Anti-vibration solutions play an important role in protecting critical components and reducing vibration transfer into cabins, control systems and mounted equipment. AV Industrial Products supplies robust mounting solutions capable of handling the high static loads and demanding operational conditions associated with forestry applications.
Tractor Cab Mounts and Engine Mounts
Cab mounts are one of the most important vibration isolation components on a modern tractor. They sit between the operator cab and the chassis, isolating the driver from engine vibration, terrain-induced shock and drivetrain noise. Our cone mounts and captive transit mounts are widely used in this application, providing excellent isolation while maintaining cab stability under load.
Engine mounts for agricultural diesel engines must handle high torque output and wide RPM ranges while preventing excessive engine movement. Our range includes hydro mounts for applications requiring superior low-frequency damping.
Combine Harvesters and Forage Equipment
Harvesting machinery generates complex vibration patterns from cutting heads, threshing mechanisms and material conveying systems operating simultaneously. We supplyrubber bobbin mounts, bump stops and suspension bushes that protect cab structures, reduce component wear and maintain harvesting accuracy across long working days.
Sprayers, Spreaders and Mounted Implements
Mounted and trailed implements are subject to significant shock loading from field operations. Rubber buffers and bump stops protect hydraulic connections and structural mounting points, while anti-vibration mounts isolate pumps and control units from chassis vibration.
ATVs and Utility Vehicles
Utility vehicles and ATVs used on farms and estates benefit from anti-vibration mounts on engines, roll cages and mounted equipment. Our compact rubber mounts and bobbin mounts are suited to the tighter packaging constraints of smaller vehicles.
FAQs:
Why are anti-vibration mounts important in agricultural machinery?
Anti-vibration mounts help reduce the transmission of engine vibration and mechanical shock throughout agricultural machinery. This improves operator comfort, protects sensitive components and helps extend equipment lifespan.
What agricultural equipment uses anti-vibration mounts?
Anti-vibration mounts are commonly used in tractors, harvesters, forestry equipment, generators, pumps, hydraulic systems and operator cabins.
Can anti-vibration mounts withstand harsh outdoor environments?
Yes. Many anti-vibration mounts are designed using durable elastomer compounds capable of withstanding water exposure, oils, UV exposure, temperature variation and demanding operating conditions.
How do anti-vibration mounts improve operator comfort?
By reducing the transmission of vibration into operator cabins and seating systems, anti-vibration mounts help reduce whole-body vibration exposure and operator fatigue during long operating periods.
